Saving the cottages that saved San Francisco in 1906 / Homes built after quake to be restored By Kathleen Sullivan, San Francisco Chronicle
One photo shows two dozen carpenters posing on a construction site, standing in front of hundreds of cabins awaiting the addition of their cedar- shingled roofs.
Another shows children standing on a dirt alley framed on both sides by wooden sidewalks and closely packed cabins in Franklin Square -- a park in the Inner Mission that became a refugee camp.
The third photo shows a pair of horses harnessed to a cart, waiting patiently to haul a cabin for a departing family to a vacant lot from a refugee camp in Precita Park.
The cottages, which were built by union carpenters in 1906 and 1907, will be restored by a new generation of union carpenters who are donating their time to the project.------------------------------------------- posted 8:02 AM :: reference link ::
